Did you hear what happened during the Hugo Awards Ceremony? It was being streamed live on UStream but mid-way through, just before Neil Gaiman’s speech, UStream’s own automatic copyright police bots cut the stream off. Oops. What happened? The award ceremony had shown some clips of the award winning Doctor Who episode “The Doctor’s Wife” […]

Behold! Fus-ro-dog!
The terror of the north! The dragon chaser! More hit dice than a dread gazebo! The fus-ro-dog! If you want to see what some real life, historical, dog armour looks like then Geek Native can help with that too.
Armour your dog
In a world were we can turn horses into dragons it is important that we can also armour our trusty hounds. Or, from a roleplaying mechanics point of view; does your system cope with non-humanoid armour? Game systems with abstract armour rules tend to cope better than those which require hit locations and tables. Sure […]
An Eternal Contenders RPG teaser
Eternal Contenders is the anticipated evolution of the acclaimed Contenders tabletop role-playing game. The game was a nominee in the UK Games Expo 2012. It’ll be one of the first RPGs published with the assistance of Chronicle City and the print/PDF bundle can be pre-ordered from their store with the PDF copy arriving shortly after […]
Transformers: BumbleBee goes Tron
A Transformer Tron mashup? Excellent. It gets even more geeky – in the good way. Ammnra’s awesome custom job involved printing off articulated hands and identity disk on a 3D printer. The disk is then attached to BumbleBee’s back using magnets.
The beasts of Star Wars – cute and on your plate
These rather cute versions of some Star Wars beasts are from the talented folk at Third Half Studios. I see what they’ve done with their name. In theory you can even buy these plates over at their Etsy store but I’ve had a rummage around and can’t find them. A sell out? Likely. Are these […]
140 tracks in Hollens’ & Stirling’s Game of Thrones mashup
Geek Native have featured these two before. Lindsey Stirling plays the violin and first started to appear on geeky blogs by dressing up as Zelda characters for her videos. Peter Hollens is a melody guy – creating hundreds of tracks for a single song with his voice alone. Their Skyrim video was a mega success. […]
Transform your horse into a dragon
There’s no reason why human LARPers should have all the fun. Horses can join in to. What? No horses in your LARP due to price and health and safety rules? Hmm. That’s a bit of a bother because I doubt SCA and other groups would consider this mask to be historically correct. Oh well. Via […]
Iconic Disney characters do Star Wars
Texan artist Nathan Boyd maintains a blog as well as a strong profile on Deviant Art. His blog, Sily Nate, is divided into Characters, Backgrounds, Animation, Posters, Storyboards and Miscellaneous. Therein is the first clue he’s an artist with wide talent. A quick tour of his work (which I highly) recommend reveals a skill at […]
Swamp Thing: Will we discover the true Anton Arcane?
Anton Arcane first appeared in Swamp Thing volume 1, issue 2 back in 1972. He was a scientist and a sorcerer who was obsessed with immortality. He created monterous undead known as “Un-Men”. As any scientist sorcerer obsessing over living forever in comic books is prone to doing – he had died several times. His […]
